Congressman Bland won a victory in that his majority report of the committee on resolutions was adopt- ed by the convention by a large me- jority. It was really not the kind of a platform which Bland came on from Washington to have adopted. After a compromise.with Governor Stone, by which the latter gave way to Bland, publicly stated that he was not a presidential candidate or a can didate for the senate of the United States, and paved the way for any boom which Bland might start rol- ling, the representative of the silver forces was able to harmonize the conflicting elements and win a par- tial victory. It is worthy of com- ment that Governor Stone must have abandoned long cherished plans in deference to Bland’s claims to be allowed the leadership, and that when he consented to be perma nent chairman and let Bland have full swing the pressure brought to bear must have been great. Ex- Governor Francis, who conducted such a gallant fight against oyer- whelming odds, came out of the contest in very good shape. He got anindorsement of the administra tion from a hostile committee, pre vented Biand from fixing a specific ratio and held in check unreason- ing democrats who otherwise would have gone off on a tangent. From whatever standpoint viewed the platform adopted is genérally satisfactory to the delegates. It does rot bear stinging words of abuse of any one and may fairly represent the views of the majority of the democratic voters of Missouri. THE PLATFORM. About midnight lastZnight the secretary announced that the com- mittee on resolutions was ready to report. Congtessman Bland led the way to the front of the stage. He sat by the chairman as the secretary read the majority and minority re- ports. The majority report of the con- mittee on resolutions was this: We, the Democracy of the state of Missouri in convertion assembled, hereby reaffirm our faith in and ad- herence to the time honored prin- ciples of our party as set forth in its state and national platforms of the past, and express our conviction that the prosperity of the people and the perpetuity of representative govern ment depend upon their continued supremacy. Inspired by these principles, we declare in favor of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, local self government, the highest possible degree of personal liberty consistent with the public good and a strict construction of the federal constitution. We especially reaffirm our devo- tion to the cardinal Democratic doc trine of absolute equality among all citizens and sections in bearing the income, which real!y represent the benefits received by the citizens from just and equal laws. We denounce as un-American and un Democratic the system of taxation on consumption only now advocated by Republicans and pretended Dem- ocrats,under which the poor pay the same or greater taxes than the rich. Whereas, The constitution of the United States provides that Con- gress shall have power to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin; and also provides that no state shall coin money or make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts. Hence we declare it to be a duty enjoined upon Congress to coin both gold and silver money for the use of the people of the states; that Congress has no rightful power to refuse the coinage of either metal. We therefore demand the free bimetallic coinage of both goid and silver and the restoration of the bimetallic standard as it existed un- der our laws for over eighty years prior to the demonetization of the standard silver dollar in 1873, and should it become necessary in order to maintain the two metals in cir- ulation, to readjust the ratio, it should be determined whether gold has risen or silver bas fallen, or whether there should be a change of the gold dollar or of the silver dol- lar, or both, to the end that what ever ratio is adopted the rights of both creditor and debtor shall be preserved alike, having in view the demands of the people for an ade- quate circulating medium. We de- clare that we are not in fayor of gold monometalism or silver monometal ism, but that both should be coined at such ratio as will maintain the two metals in circulation. We insist upon the Democratic doctrine of Jackson and Benton that all money issued by the authority of Congress shall be issued and its value maintained by the government. That we are opposed to farming out to national banks the right to issue circulating notes. That we are opposed to any further increase of the interest bearing debt of th government. . We reaffirm our adberence to the great truth that free institutions can only be preseryed by a strict con- struction of the federal constitution and the recognition at all times of the limitations therein on uational and state authority. Therefore we demand that Congress shall enact laws so defining and limiting the jurisdiction of the federal courts as on the part of the would-be politi- 132,637. cal leaders to create a strife and dis Metals and manufactures—Senate cord within the ranks of the Demo | $15,852,576; House $15,769,653; Mc cratic party by attempting to arraign | Kinley $27,034,637. one class of voters against another, on account of their religious faith. | 3 Therefore, be it 3 Resolved, That the grand old Democratic party, whose conserva- | %16,832; McKinley, $193,284. tive of national honor, tranquility and peace, the party of the people, | House, $11,528,783; McKinley, $14,- and the enemy of oppression aud | 831,89. tyranny in every form, does hereby unequivocally aud emphatically de | s8ious—Senate, nounce and condemn such conduct | $7,969,748; McKinley, 1 $9,444,972; $12,433,855.
